What about going from Austin to SA?
Not too bad. If traffic isn't horrible, you can make it from the airport to San Antonio in about an hour and a half, sometimes an hour and 15 minutes. The airport is on the south side of Austin, so you can escape the worst of Austin traffic.
There are two options: (1) Take the straight shot that is I-35. It's I-35, so it's still congested, with construction here and there. If your flight gets in between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., I would consider option (2) because of traffic. (2) Take the 130 toll road to Seguin, and then I-10 to San Antonio. It's about 15 miles longer, but because you can go 90 on the toll road portion (speed limit is 85 on that bit, 80 elsewhere), the time winds up being the same, better if traffic on I-35 is bad. It's also not quite as butt-ugly as the I-35 drive.
